some questions about melee combat with vtank

1. Is there a way to attack different monsters and different attack heights?
2. Is there a way to only attack monsters of the same name but are not wielding a shield?

1. yes if you are using fingers 2.0 you can hot key the attack heights and then change as you go. this of course means you are at the keyboard as Vtank is an ACM tool not a UCM tool.
2. again fingers 2.0, otherwise no.

is it too difficult to now and then hit one key to change attack heights?
if so move on to something more your speed.
well that sounds a bit harsher then i actually intended. but dang big of an easy button do folks need? probably at this late stage of Vtank, designing a height for melee/archers is more work then necessary for folks SUPPOSED to be at the keyboard. possibly if she had thought of it during the intial design phase would have been easier to install. Assuming she, VI, agrees with the idea.

Good to know the best melee, archer, and mage in AC has these kinds of problems. It kind of levels the playing field for the rest of us.

difficult?
you can set one button to attack low, another for mid and a 3rd for high. so changing is as simple as depressing that button while your toon is running up to the new mob
i'm sorry, but if that is TOO much effort for you, find another game to play. maybe tic tac toe or connect the dots???

Control-delete, control-end, and control-pgdn are the default hotkeys to set the attack height. Right now that is all you can do to change it.
I have never personally found the need to change attack heights. Just attack low and you can hit any monster.

Things like Tukora rock-throwers are hard to hit low.

This means once you have it set, you don't need to change it or push a button again, until you move to another spawn of critters you can't hit with the current setting.

It's a sad day when the best melee in AC doesn't even want to change attack heights.

its easier and faster for me to control the whole thing myself than use vtank
vtank is used if i dont want to touch the keyboard
if i have to use the keyboard then theres no reason to use it

Translation:
If I can't UCM with the program the way I want, then I might as well just not use it.
If you're the best melee, archer, mage, and have the best guild in AC, might as well throw in the best programmer, and write your own plugin while you're at it.

Grafix, you know, some of us just like to watch our chars play. Some of us enjoy the mechanics of the setup rather than the finger action of the combat.
vtank is great for ACM, especially multiple clients at once.

huh? I don't understand what you're saying.
You don't have to hit any keys to be ACM'ing.

I didn't argue that VTank wasn't great for ACMing, I use it myself, and agree. I was stating the fact that the OP was complaining that VTank wasn't doing everything for him, that it was too hard to push a key every now and then. I'm sorry, but if it's so difficult to push a key every now and then, my assumption, as I'm sure most would agree, is that the person is not ACM, rather they are UCM.
If you look at my post history, you'll see not only am I a supporter of VTank, and love the plugin, but that I've also made some suggestions to VI that I would like to see included. I just find this thread funny that the OP is trying real hard to sugar coat the fact that he's AFK, but not UCMing.
